Consumers appreciate the dedication Gary Collins displays as he provides a vital service

Oct. 10, 2008 - PRLog -- Cleveland, OH – A fire hazard may be lurking in your clothes dryer, according to Gary Collins, owner of Dryer Vent Wizard in Cleveland, Ohio. Up to 15000 dryer related fires occur in the U.S. each year with devastating results. Dryer Vent Wizard, specializes in dryer vent cleaning and repair in homes and commercial buildings to reduce the risk of dryer fires.    

“I am committed to increasing public awareness in my community,” said Gary Collins.  “By providing our service and explaining the importance of dryer vent maintenance to our customers, we are doing our part to keep our community safe and help prevent fires.”  

According to Collins, many dryer vents are not up to code because they are made of plastic, vinyl or foil. These older, more flexible dryer vents often sag, or get crushed when people push dryers closer to the wall. This restricts air flow and doesn’t allow lint to escape to the vent outdoors.  As the moist lint builds up and sticks to the dryer ducts, it dries to crust and could ignite from the heat of the dryer.  “If your dryer is taking more than one cycle to dry your clothes, your home or business is at risk for a fire” explained Gary. “These fires can easily be prevented with proper maintenance of your dryer vent system.  We inspect and correct existing problems that make the dryer work harder to do its job, also increases energy costs.
